Well, there is this little line at the end of Mission 2... "Dante: 'It’s been nearly a year since we last met. Where does the time go?'" As you should remember, he is referring to Vergil. So it means that either manga is taking place a year before the game (which would be strange, considering how fast Vergil was unlocking seals, even Arkham muses over it), or there is some contradiction. In addition, game makes no mention of seals in the manga, or manga makes no mention of guardians of Temen-ni-gru. Also, why no one of the manga-only cast makes no appearance in the game? Seems like we'll never know.

About Deadly Fortune - as I already said, the problem is that no one of us has it, and most of us don't know Japanese enough to read it. The only thing we've got is this extensive analysis, but although I trust the source, we can't directly use it.

Elveonora, may I ask you if you have the novel and/or read it yourself?
